Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer left the team’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers with an apparent injury to his left leg.

The team is officially calling it a "lower-body injury," and Reimer did not return to the game. Toronto beat the Flyers, 5-2.

After the game, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said he didn't think the injury to Reimer was serious and that he shouldn't "miss any extended period of time." Reimer will have additional tests performed on him Tuesday, according to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun.

The injury occurred early in the second period with the Leafs leading, 3-1. Reimer had stopped 12 of 13 shots faced.

Reimer appeared to be injured after a brief scramble in front of his net on a move from post to post. Reimer stayed down for several minutes and had to be helped off the ice.

"(Scrivens) went in and stood tall for us and he was equal to the task and we were able to find ways to put pucks in the back of the net," Carlyle said. "I think it was three consecutive shifts we held them in their zone and made some plays and played with some fire."

Minutes after Reimer left, Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov was pulled for backup Brian Boucher after he had allowed the Maple Leafs’ fourth goal.

Toronto blitzed Bryzgalov and the Flyers for three goals in the first 6:15 of the second period to turn a 1-1 game after the first period into a rout.

The game marked the first time that the Maple Leafs' James van Riemsdyk and Flyers' Luke Schenn squared off against their former teams since the two were traded for each other last summer. Schenn had an assist, and van Riemsdyk scored a goal in the Leafs' fourth straight win.

Reimer’s strong play to start the season had cooled the persistent Roberto Luongo-to-the-Leafs trade rumors that had been rampant throughout the lockout.

Reimer entered Monday’s game with a 5-3-0 record and a 2.30 goals-against average. His save percentage of .929 heavily contributed to the Leafs’ overall percentage of. 915—far better than it was last season (.897), when Jonas Gustavsson struggled and Reimer battled a concussion.

Toronto’s 8-5 start was in large part because of Reimer’s play as the Maple Leafs are looking to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
